Introducing a Timeless Masterpiece: The New Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition
19 February 2025, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland: A new collaboration between Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux has resulted in the unveiling of the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, a timepiece that redefines elegance, precision, and craftsmanship. As the sixth piece in a prestigious collection, this collaboration celebrates the shared values of two luxury brands renowned for their attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
Since 2021, Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux have been working together to create a series of extraordinary timepieces, and this latest offering is a true reflection of that partnership. Designed to evoke emotion and excitement, the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition channels the thrill and intensity of driving an Aston Martin into the world of horology.
A Green Legacy: Aston Martin's Iconic Colour
Aston Martin’s long-standing association with the color green dates back to 1922 when the British marque chose British Racing Green for their racing cars. Over the years, the brand has expanded its color palette to include nine exclusive shades of green, each symbolizing the company’s storied heritage in motorsports. For the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, Girard-Perregaux has carefully crafted a unique iridescent green dial, paying homage to this rich history.
The dial’s color is the result of a meticulous process that takes 14 steps to complete, ensuring the perfect iridescence and depth. The green hue, now synonymous with Aston Martin, is reinterpreted in a modern, striking way, allowing the timepiece to reflect the sophistication and performance of the brand.
Advanced Materials for Exceptional Performance
Incorporating advanced materials that are familiar to Aston Martin, the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition features Grade Five titanium—a material famously used in the hypercar Valkyrie. This lightweight yet incredibly strong material enhances the watch’s durability and comfort, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily wear while maintaining an air of luxury. The combination of titanium’s strength and the watch’s intricate craftsmanship ensures exceptional performance, both as a functional timepiece and a symbol of refinement.
True to the Laureato tradition, the case and bracelet of the watch showcase a blend of brushed and polished surfaces, delivering a captivating contrast. This attention to detail is a hallmark of both Aston Martin’s automotive design philosophy and Girard-Perregaux’s watchmaking expertise.
A Fusion of Expertise and Passion
Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Girard-Perregaux, described the collaboration as a fusion of the brands' respective areas of expertise. “The core ideology behind the latest timepiece in our collection with Aston Martin was to create something that would be a fusion of our different areas of expertise. This is how the idea of creating a dial with automotive-grade paint, in a green shade that is dear to Aston Martin, came to life,” he said. The painstaking and intricate process to achieve the unique iridescent color demonstrates the excellence the two brands strive to deliver in every creation.
Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, added, “Whether we are designing a high-performance, ultra-luxury supercar or a timepiece with our partner Girard-Perregaux, creating a piece of mastery is at the core of our work and our creations. An Aston Martin is more than a car; it’s an expression of one’s personality, a passion—something that is often shared with the ownership of a watch.”
The Ultimate Symbol of Luxury
The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship, performance, and design. It is a seamless blend of two iconic brands, each pushing the boundaries of their respective industries. As the latest addition to a remarkable collection, the timepiece is a testament to the excellence and passion shared by Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux.
This stunning creation is available now at selected Girard-Perregaux retailers worldwide. For those seeking a timepiece that offers more than just functionality—a true piece of artistry that captures the spirit of both Aston Martin’s automotive excellence and Girard-Perregaux’s horological mastery—the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is a must-have.
